Chapter 344: Chapter 341: Elevator Show! (First Update, Seeking Recommendations!!)_1

Upon hearing the name of Immortal Rhyme, Ren Feifan’s eyes lit up. He hurriedly spoke to the elderly man in front of him, "Old Master Zhu, I have long heard of your great name!"

Old Master Zhu was pleasantly surprised that the other party took the initiative to greet him. He made some polite remarks then went straight to the point, "Master Ren, can you accompany me to the top floor for a chat?"

Ren Feifan initially had been contemplating how to acquire the Immortal Rhyme. After all, his financial resources were limited. If the auction price for the Immortal Rhyme was too high, he absolutely wouldn’t be able to afford it.

Therefore, the best approach would be to contact Old Master Zhu directly to see if the Immortal Rhyme could be exchanged for something of equivalent value.

"Alright," Ren Feifan agreed decisively.

Old Master Zhu hadn’t expected Ren Feifan to agree so quickly. A hint of a smile crept onto his face before extending his hand and saying, "Thank you then, Master Ren."

The top floor was on the 27th level, typically where Old Master Zhu had his office. They would need to take an elevator to get there.

To access any floor above the 20th in the Linjiang Building, a special card was needed to press the floor button on the elevator.

While waiting for the elevator, Ren Feifan began to scrutinize the venerable elder before him.

Old Master Zhu, in his seventies, was dressed very modestly.

If judging based solely on his attire, one would never suspect that he was such a significant figure, especially without any attendants at his side. He was very simple and casual.

Yet, it was these types of individuals who often portrayed a benevolent image.

Ren Feifan had a casual chat with Old Master Zhu, who did most of the talking.

At that moment, Aunt Wang and Zhao Jingshi were about to go to the 9th floor for makeup. When Aunt Wang saw Old Master Zhu, she tightly grabbed Zhao Jingshi’s arm.

"Aunt Wang, why are you holding me so tightly? It hurts!" Zhao Jingshi exclaimed, slightly annoyed.

Aunt Wang quickly pointed at the elderly man in the distance and asked, "Jingshi, do you know who that is?"

Zhao Jingshi glanced at the side profile of the elderly man and shook her head, clearly communicating that she neither recognized nor had any interest in knowing who he was.

The man appeared no different from any other ordinary elder based on his attire and demeanor.

Aunt Wang grinned and said softly, "You’ve been talking about how your career has plateaued lately, especially since you’ve only found success within Huaxia and are nowhere near Zhang Lingyi’s international reputation.

That’s why our team has been meeting regularly, with the conclusion to revamp your image and then break into the Asian market first. However, currently, we haven’t found a good way to approach this."

Zhao Jingshi nodded, already aware of this since Aunt Wang had shared this with her the day prior.

Aunt Wang continued, "Do you know why I asked you to perform at this charity gala for free?"

Instinctively, Zhao Jingshi replied, "Didn’t you say it was because this gala is related to Jiaheng Film Industry? I heard they’re casting for the female lead in a film targeting the Asian market, so you wanted me to try my luck..."

Suddenly, Zhao Jingshi seemed to have an epiphany and pointed at the modestly dressed elderly man, "Aunt Wang, are you saying that elderly man is the unseen boss of Jiaheng Film Industry?"

Aunt Wang looked at Zhao Jingshi with a hint of appreciation; younger people certainly reacted quickly.

"Yes, that man’s name is Zhu Ting. He’s a very influential figure in Jiangnan and has absolute control over the Jiaheng Film Industry. So, if you leave a good impression, the role of the leading lady could be yours!"

After speaking, Aunt Wang nudged Zhao Jingshi, "If I’m guessing correctly, Old Master Zhu is probably going to a floor above the 20th. Let’s try to get on the same elevator with him. You press 14th floor so there would still be some time for you to make an impression. Remember, you have to seize these few precious seconds! Hurry, the elevator is here!"

The elevator doors opened, and Ren Feifan and Old Master Zhu walked in one after the other.

But unexpectedly, just as the elevator doors were about to close, two women rushed in.

Given that the elevator was a shared resource and the newcomers were ladies, Old Master Zhu could only subtly smile, coming off as approachable.

The moment Aunt Wang saw Old Master Zhu smile at them, she was overjoyed. She tugged on Zhao Jingshi’s sleeve, signaling her to get ready.

However, Zhao Jingshi didn’t move.

Annoyed, Aunt Wang glanced at Zhao Jingshi, only to see that her eyes had landed on another man.

It was only then that Aunt Wang noticed another man had also snuck into the elevator.

She shrugged it off until she looked more carefully— irritation kicking in. It was that troublemaker again!

His obnoxious presence was inescapable!

Was he there to deliberately annoy her and Jingshi?

Aunt Wang gave Ren Feifan a nasty look, concealing her emotions and anger.

She gave a gentle cough, signaling to Zhao Jingshi to begin.

Zhao Jingshi quickly regained her composure, slightly adjusting her speech, then pretending to be surprised upon recognizing Old Master Zhu, she asked: "Are...are you Old Master Zhu?"

The Zhu Ting standing next to Ren Feifan nodded.

Overcome with excitement, Zhao Jingshi was somewhat flustered, "Old Master Zhu, my name is Zhao Jingshi. You are indeed my idol! I can’t believe I’m seeing you here. I’ve admired you since I was young, especially your dedication toward philanthropy over the decades.

After learning about your charitable work, I also gradually started my own. Last year, I even established the Jingshi Fund...Oh my...I’m getting a bit emotional...I’m sorry if I’m talking too much..."

Old Master Zhu glanced at Ren Feifan, who was looking back at him calmly.

At last Old Master Zhu addressed Zhao Jingshi, "Young lady, you’re doing well. Philanthropy requires persistence. Believe me, doing good deeds will always be rewarded. I’ve always thought that a philanthropist living in people’s respect is more honorable and noble than a miser who dies alone with his bankbook."

Although Old Master Zhu felt that the young woman’s words in front of him were rather calculative and ingenuine, more like they were aimed at him, he did not plan to expose her.

He always abided by the principle, ’see through it but do not expose it’.

In addition, she was a beautiful girl who actually practiced charity work.

Such a girl was indeed rare in society.

Upon hearing Old Master Zhu start to speak, Aunt Wang hurriedly pulled a pen and paper out of her bag and started scribbling.

Old Master Zhu’s eyes flickered with curiosity and he asked, "What are you writing?"

Aunt Wang quickly replied, "Old Master Zhu, your words ’I’ve always thought that a philanthropist living in people’s respect is more honorable and noble than a miser who dies alone with his bankbook’ were so insightful that I want to record them."

After hearing this, Old Master Zhu only smiled and said no more.

But Ren Feifan wasn’t so composed. He was really amazed by Aunt Wang, who claimed to admire Old Master Zhu’s words.

Her hypocrisy was over the top.

Back then, with a substantial amount of money in her hands, she didn’t seem to care about money at all. Would this kind of person actually like doing charity? Unbelievable!

She probably even evades paying taxes!

Of course, these thoughts were just in his mind and he did not voice them. Still, unable to hide his contempt, Ren Feifan snorted instinctively.

The elevator suddenly became quiet and his snort resonated in everyone’s ears, creating an awkward atmosphere.

Aunt Wang turned red, clearly understanding that this contemptuous snort was meant to embarrass her.

Such a disrespectful person!

But she couldn’t lose her temper, especially not in front of Old Master Zhu, otherwise the consequences would be dire.

All she could do was to glare angrily at Ren Feifan. Her eyes were filled with murderous intent, but she concealed it well.

At least Old Master Zhu wouldn’t have been able to notice.
